Person of Interest is an amazing show. The show is about an inventor who creates the worlds first true A.I. (artificial intelligence).
The government takes the A.I. to find and stop terrorist. However the A.I. is able to also see premeditated murders. But the government does not see those are relevant. He creates a backdoor, a means for the A.I. to speak to him after he has faked his death. He uses the intel of the A.I. to help people. He find a man who is depressed and suicidal but also an ex special agent. Together with a New York police officer they save people based on the information THE MACHINE sends them.
It starts as stories to help individuals but begins to grow to tell the story of police, and government corruptions, crime, spy intrigue, and more. It continues to A.I.s fighting each other in a cold world war.
If you want to watch a grounded sci-fi show this is the one. The thing is this show could be or can be real very soon.
One of my favorite shows and intros was Bionic Six. This show would be in my top three choices to be remade as a cartoon with a far more indepth story and a live action movie.

I loved the intro to Bionic Six. Couldn't find it so here is episode one.
I can't believe I haven't written this sooner. If you read my post on the Arrow tv show then you know I love that show. Yes, I know season three and four were not as strong as season one and two. But no, I don't think they were horrible, nor do I do as many viewers do and let "Olicity" overshadow every other story happening. From Arrow sprang the Flash. The Flash is not a spin-off but it is in the same "Universe". What this means is the shows have crossovers, characters will be on each other's programs and they will be mentioned and help the other character many times off-screen.
The Flash is a good show. It is different from Arrow in many ways. First, the Flash has superpowers. He is a speedster, this means he can move at insanely fast speeds. He can run so fast he can literally run forward or backward in time. Something he learns only creates many, many, many problems. The show is more lighthearted than Arrow. For one the hero has never been a killer. He doesn't believe in doing such things. He also has more fun in fighting crime and the people of Central City where he lives actually love having him around.
If you like the idea of watching a superhero show that is fun, and adventurous you will like the Flash. You don't have to watch Arrow to understand the Flash except when they do crossover episode but they only do these once a year.
Highlander the series is a show that has had a great deal of an effect on my personality. I LOVED THIS SHOW. Absolutely loved this show. I think I've seen most of the episodes five to ten times. This show is one of my top ten favorite shows of all time. I was watching the series again a couple years back and still found episodes I had not seen. Which was a great. This is the show that made me really love the Highlander series. The movies were good but nothing close to how in-depth the show could be. If they make another Highlander series, maybe on Netflix. I'm all in.
This show helped me to understand what honor really is. One of the things about Duncan Mcleod that I liked was he had all these years of experience, that he actually learned from. Duncan had a code of justice that he lived by but many times you found yourself, as the audience member, seeing both side and not sure if Duncan justice was always the right way or the more righteous.
I have gotten ahead of myself. For those that don't know this series or the Highlander franchise, the story goes like this. There are Immortals among us. They can only be killed if you cut there heads off releasing "the Quickening". When an immortal is killed the closet to them, usually their killer absorbs their quickening gaining all their power. In the end, "there can be only one. May it be Duncan Mcleod the Highlander". When the show begins Duncan is four hundred years old. You soon learn there are immortals that are far older.
If you like history, sword fighting, some philosophy, and interesting characters give this show a try. Writing this has made me want to watch a few episodes again.
I love the show Happy Endings. I still have some anger at ABC for cancelling it. This and Don't trust the B... in apartment 23 always make me laughs. Started watching Happy Endings again on Hulu. Found out there were webisodes from the first season called Happy Ending Happy Rides. Watch it below to get a taste of the humor or if you are like me and missed it.
Because of the webisodes find I found a read by the cast of a kinda not really lost season four episode one. For those that loved the show like me this is awesome. I wish I had seen this sooner but appreciate finding it now.
Burn Notice was a show on the USA Network for five years. It was one of my favorite shows when it was on.
The show follows the main character, Micheal Westen after he loses his position as a C.I.A (Central Intelligence Agency) agent. He loses his aliases and his true name is put out there for all his enemies to learn. This is call being burned or a burn notice. He is dumped unconscious in Miami and told not to leave the city.
He awakens to find his ex-girlfriend Fiona Glennane, a former IRA operative. From this point on he is on a mission to find out who burned him and she reluctantly assists him.
He reconnects with his estranged mother. And allies with Sam Axe played by Bruce Campbell, who informs on him to the F.B.I (Federal Bureau of Investigations). And later on with Jesse Porter another burnt agent.
One of the things that made this show unique was it would explain how to make or do different tasks. It was as if it was a D.I.Y. (do it yourself) spy training show. I would watch thinking if there were thieves out there taking notes from this show on how to properly make and use explosives or commit crimes.
The show is/was just fun with interesting and lovable characters. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a fun spy show.
I would love if they made a Burn Notice Television movie or three, soon. No idea if this is even talked about but it should be.
MushiShi is a really really great show. It is not like most shows, animes, or storytelling. There isn't an antagonist, there isn't a protagonist most of the time. Sometimes I wonder if there really is a plot. Most episodes start out with a person accidently coming into contact with a Mushi. Then something bad or good happens. Then Ginko the only constant character will assess the situation to fix it the best he can.
Mushishi is told like old FairyTale or Ghost stories. I don't think they are about scaring the audience. Most stories seem to be about understanding and living in balance with nature. Some people find themselves living in balance with the Mushi that affect their life. Sometimes for good, sometimes for ill.
Ginko is the man character in Mushishi. He is a Mushishi. He is an expert on the different kinds of Mushi.
I don't know if we as the audience are following him on his adventures or we are following the Mushi and he comes into the story or both.
These are images of different kinds of Mushi. The best way to describe a Mushi is it is an animal on a slightly different dimensional plane. So most people can't see them. Mushishi can see them. However even tho people can't see them Mushi can and do effect people and nature. Mushi like animals don't do things to people to be malicious. Mostly any harm they do to people is out of survival or because people did something wrong or by simple mistake.
MushiShi loves to show natural landscapes and images of Nature. Nature is very important to the story.
If you are looking for the classic good versus evil story that isn't Mushishi. If you are looking for something relaxing, interesting, original, with a folk storytelling feel, give Mushishi a try. I highly recommend it.

First episode. Really have to watch it to understand how different the show is.
